When I read the title, I was expecting a very different story from the one I read. They call them widows even though their husbands are alive. Also, it seemed that Cady wasn't even the main character. There were multiple stories crammed into one book.
This was a classic case of me getting bored and picking up the first book I see at the library to see if it'll take me out of my reading slump. I was expecting a book about a group of women who helped cover up the murder of their politician husbands because they got tired of running their campaigns for years.
Even when I take out the expectations I had for this book, it's still confusing to understand. You get invested in one story only to have it be over quickly and then be shown the start of a new one. It's hard to keep track of who is doing what. Taking all this into account, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless I knew that they'd enjoy it, whether it's as satire or because they're genuinely interested in the concept.
